Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Buddha and the Dao

“Buddhism and Taoism have been contending endlessly, and to this day, the superior cannot be determined.”

“Then today, shall we stop at a touch? Decades of contention have never settled a victor.”

West Sea.

Temple of the Gods and Buddhas.

A white-haired man stood in the center of the great hall, facing a black-haired man, sharing a smile.

Their joined hands slowly parted.

“Why do I not see your Golden Boy and Jade Girl?” The black-haired man asked with a smile, hands clasped behind his back. “Every time I visit the West Sea, it is them who are responsible for reception. Yet today, I did not encounter them.”

“Demon, you grieve me.” The West Sea God and Buddha touched his chest, sighing with helplessness. “The past is past, and yet you insist on reopening my wounds, and pressing on them.”

The Golden Boy and Jade Girl were his most favored disciples.

Living together day and night, the West Sea God and Buddha had all but emptied his knowledge upon them, treating them as his own children.

But now…

Things have changed, people are not the same.

“Oh? It’s rare for something to upset you, God and Buddha. Don’t you always say, to not rejoice over possessions, nor grieve for personal sorrow? They are dead, just gone to the Western Pure Land, it’s a good thing.” The black-haired man spoke with a smile.

“Western Pure Land?”

The West Sea God and Buddha shook his head: “Do you believe?”

“I don’t,” the black-haired man shook his head as well.

In the vast Temple of the Gods and Buddhas, there were only two people talking.
